How to Count Coughs: An Event-Based Framework for Evaluating Automatic Cough Detection Algorithm Performance

David Atienza Alonso, Tomas Teijeiro Campo, Lara Orlandic, Jonathan Dan, Jérôme Paul Rémy Thevenot

Chronic cough disorders are widespread and challenging to assess because they rely on subjective patient questionnaires about cough frequency. Wearable devices running Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are promising for quantifying daily coughs, providing c ...

Capsular Polysaccharide Restrains Type VI Secretion in Acinetobacter baumannii

Melanie Blokesch, Loriane Bader, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Nicolas Olmo Flaugnatti

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a sophisticated, contact-dependent nanomachine involved in interbacterial competition. To function effectively, the T6SS must penetrate the membranes of both attacker and target bacteria. Structures associated with th ...

Weevil pgrp-lb prevents endosymbiont TCT dissemination and chronic host systemic immune activation

Florent François Masson

Long-term intracellular symbiosis (or endosymbiosis) is widely distributed across invertebrates and is recognized as a major driving force in evolution. However, the maintenance of immune homeostasis in organisms chronically infected with mutualistic bacte ...

Effectiveness of a personalized ventilation system in reducing personal exposure against directly released simulated cough droplets

Dusan Licina

The inhalation intake fraction was used as an indicator to compare effects of desktop personalized ventilation and mixing ventilation on personal exposure to directly released simulated cough droplets. A cough machine was used to simulate cough release fro ...

Localization of adhesins on the surface of a pathogenic bacterial envelope through atomic force microscopy

Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Petar Stupar

Bacterial adhesion is the first and a significant step in establishing infection. This adhesion normally occurs in the presence of flow of fluids. Therefore, bacterial adhesins must be able to provide high strength interactions with their target surface in ...

Human convection flow in spaces with and without ventilation: personal exposure to floor-released particles and cough-released droplets

Dusan Licina

The effects of the human convective boundary layer (CBL), room airflow patterns, and their velocities on personal exposure are examined. Two pollutants are studied which simulate particles released from the feet and generated at distances of 2 and 3 m by a ...
